Dear Debian Developers
I am pleased to appoint the following developers as members of the
Debian
Outreach Team:
- Abhijith PA (abhijith)
- Antonio Terceiro (terceiro)
- Lucas Kanashiro (kanashiro)
- Tassia Camoes Araujo (tassia)
A heartfelt thanks to Emanuele Rocca (ema) for his past contributions
to the
outreach delegation. I am also stepping down as I am now elected DPL.
We warmly welcome Tassia Camoes Araujo who joins to further strengthen
the Outreach Team.
Any previous Outreach Team delegation not explicitly listed above is
revoked. This delegation is time-limited until 31 October 2027, unless
renewed
earlier by the next DPL.
Task Description
----------------
The Debian Outreach Team co-ordinates Debian's outreach initiatives,
which covers two main areas.
Firstly, they are responsible for coordinating the participation of
Debian in internship-like programs such as Outreachy and Google Summer
of Code.
This involves:
* Acting as a contact point for all topics related to Debian's
participation into those programs.
* When necessary, ensuring the funding of Debian's participation by
requesting the use of Debian funds to the DPL, by organizing
fundraising campaigns, etc.
* When necessary, establishing Debian-specific rules about who can
apply for the various roles (mentors, participants, etc.) in
those programs.
* Ranking and selecting applications — generally, considering the
feedback given by mentors and other reviewers.
* Co-ordinating the communication around Debian's participation into
such programs.
Secondly, the Debian Outreach Team will be responsible for exploring
internal
outreach initiatives managed by the Debian project.
This may include interns managed by Debian directly, outreach programs
at schools and other institutions, and small grants. This may take some
time to develop, the delegation is responsible for organising sprints
during DebCamp and updates to the rest of the project so that members
can stay up to date with developments.
